Engineering Capacity Calculator

Estimate the development capacity a Sprint frees up.

Set your team size, annual loaded cost, and the improvement you expect. The fee is fixed; the capacity scales with the size of the team that adopts the practices.

How this is calculated

Team size × loaded annual cost × estimated improvement

10 × $150,000 × 25% = $375,000

  • The result represents development capacity, not cash savings.
  • It does not assume layoffs, and it does not guarantee realized revenue.
  • Actual improvement depends on the team, codebase, management support, project choice, and adoption.
  • The sprint fee is included in the first-year ROI calculation.

This calculator estimates the value of additional engineering capacity. It does not assume headcount reduction, and it is not a revenue forecast. Heavy Chain engagements begin with a real production project, establish a baseline, and measure the result against that baseline.
